ike diapers.....it depends. Does he want a light or does he want to run a 400amp welder?(quoted from post at 14:26:38 10/16/14) A neighbor wants to run power to a shed 300 ft from his house. He thinks #10 wire with a 30 amp breaker will be ok? I think he needs a box in the shed, and some heavier wire, maybe a #6 or #4?
(quoted from post at 23:07:20 10/16/14) I think he just wants to run a couple lights and a outlet or 2. I was just surprised that he had a 30 amp breaker on it.

I wasn't offended, only mildly surprised. But I think maybe we're not talking about the same thing. My question was in regards to old's installation, not that of the original poster. In his description of his situation, old said that it had been that way for 20 years. My reading of that would be that he's saying it's fine the way it is, and he has no plans to change it. Of course it's fine as it is if it's a normal 120 volt circuit---hot/neutral/ground. But old mentioned not running 240 there, which I took to mean that it was at least possible that he meant that he could, but didn't. If he could, then there wouldn't be a neutral because he said it was a 3 wire installation, two wires plus ground. What I said about you and John T. not getting on his case was meant to be something like an inside joke for regular readers on this site. You, in particular, are known to have little patience with people who do things that could endanger others out of ignorance, cheapness, or indifference.

That is the way it starts out, just need a light and an outlet. pretty soon it's an air compressor, fridge, microwave, washing machine and dryer for work clothes, water heater, power tools, air conditioner, portable heaters and a welder.
On the entire cost of the job, upping the wire size a couple from 30amp to 60amp is not particularly costly.
